A VISION, WHICH One Mr. Brayne (one of the Ministers of Winchester) had in September, 1647.
HE thought a man took and put him into the water, and on the other side of the water stood another man, which gave him a book, and bad him go into France, and denounce there the heavy judgment of God against the Kingdom, untill the Martyrs massacration in Paris was revenged: and the bloud that hath been in England shall be foure times doubled in France.
Monarchy shall fall, first in England, then in France, then in Spain; and after in all Christendom; and when Christ hath put down this power, he himself will begin to reigne, and first in England, where the meanest People that are now despised, shall have first the revelation of truth, and it shall passe from them to other Nations; after that a Voice spake these Verses following, (which he then understood not)
There will not be much more bloodshed in England, though much more contention and strife.
This was presented by M. Thomas Goodwin, to some Members of the Army.
